A Little Night Music | Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra

Any star pianist can play up a storm in a great concerto; part of what makes Paul Lewis so special is his love of collaboration – of pooling his musicianship with friends and colleagues in search of a deeper musical truth. This exquisite programme finds him stepping forward as first amongst equals to direct and perform Mozart’s very personal concerto: exactly as Amadeus would have done himself. Schumann’s lyrical love-letter of a piano concerto is ideally suited to Lewis’s ummatched combination of virtuosity and poetry.
